3 Q. 1 When all of the frame relay interfaces belongs to area 0 in a multiarea OSPF network. What will most likely occur? A. Type-5 LSA s will not be delivered. B. External summary routes can t be used. C. Summary LSA s will be flooded throughout the area and all area 0 routers will recalculate their routing tables in response to a topology change in area 0. D. This topology will never be implemented because the full time circuit tariffs are prohibited. Answer: C. Explanation: By placing all of the Frame Relay interfaces into Area 0 a network benefits as all remote locations and the central locations are able to have transit areas or stub areas but it may cause summary LSAs to be flooded throughout the Frame Relay network and results in a large number of routers performing recalculation if any topology change takes place in Area 0. A is incorrect, Link State Advertisement (LSA) Type 5 are in fact flooded in the AS (Autonomous System) OSPF to advertise external routes. B is incorrect, this type of network can communicate with external route through redistribution. D is incorrect; full time circuit tariffs have no bearing on this question. This option is meant to distract the test taker. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), pp , 177. Q. 2 Which command is used to verify the status of an OSPF virtual link? A. Show IP OSPF. B. Show IP ospf database. C. Show IP ospf interface. D. Show IP ospf vitual-links. Answer: D. Explanation: The show ip ospf virtual-links command is used to display the current status of ospf virtual links

4 A is not correct, show ip ospf command only displays general parameters that relate to the OSPF Process. For example this command will provide the router ID. B is not correct, show ip ospf database command shows information about a router s OSPF database, such as router s route link states and network links. C is not correct, show ip ospf interface command will allow you to verify that interfaces have been configured in the intended areas. You can also see the timer and Hello intervals with this command. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), pp. 204 and 683. Q. 3 What does an OSPF ABR connect? A. Multiple OSPF areas. B. OSPF and RIP networks. C. OSPF and EIGRP networks. D. Multiple designated routers. Answer: A. Explanation: An Area Border Router (ABR) is located on the border of one or more OSPF areas that connects those areas to the backbone network. ABRs are considered members of both the OSPF backbone and the attached areas. Therefore, they maintain routing tables describing both the backbone topology and the topology of the other areas. B is incorrect, in order for an OSPF and a RIP networks a boundary router must be utilized to ensure that redistribution occurs as designed. C is incorrect, in order for an OSPF and an EIGRP networks a boundary router must be utilized to ensure that redistribution occurs as designed. D is incorrect, each multi-access OSPF network that has at least two attached routers has a designated router (DR) that is elected by the OSPF Hello protocol. An ABR is not required to connect multiple DRs. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), pages and Q. 4 Which OSPF feature allows you to separate a single large area in to smaller areas? A. Link-state. B. Hierarchical. C. Interior area. D. OSPF stub area

5 Answer: B. Explanation: OSPF s capability to separate a large internetwork into multiple areas is also known as hierarchical routing. Hierarchical routing enables you to separate a large internetwork (autonomous system) into smaller internetworks that are called areas. A is incorrect, routers that use a link state protocols, OSPF is one of these protocols, maintains a copy of the network topology and when a change occurs a link state advertisement (LSA) will be generated and sent to it s neighbours. B is incorrect, an interior area is not a feature of OSPF. D is incorrect, the purpose of an OSPF stub area is to prevent the broadcast of external routes within the area. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), Q. 5 Which two operational modes of OSPF over NBMA are considered to be RFC-compliant? (Choose two) A. hub and spoke B. point-to-multipoint nonbroadcast C. broadcast D. point-to-multipoint E. nonbroadcast multiaccess F. point-to-point Answer: D and E. Explanation: NBMA (nonbroadcast multiaccess) networks are those networks that support many (more than two) routers but have no broadcast capability. When a single interface is used to interconnect multiple sites over an NNBA network, you may have reachability issues because of the nonbroadcast nature of the network. The RFC-complaint modes are NBMA mode and point-to-multipoint mode. A is incorrect; a hub and spoke network is not a NBMA mode rathet it is a type of network. In a hub and spoke configuration, one oruter is designated as the hub and all other routers are considered as spokes. The hub must be able to reach all spokes. The hub ideally should be configured as a point-to-mutlipoint but as OSPF is concerned, and the spokes should be configured as point-to-point spokes. B is incorrect; point-to-multipoint nonbroadcast mode is an example of a Cisco defined NBMA mode

6 C is incorrect; broadcast mode is an example of a Cisco defined NBMA mode. F is incorrect; point-to-point mode is an example of a Cisco defined NBMA mode. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), Q. 6 Which property identifies the OSPF designated router (DR)? A. It has the lowest router ID B. It is connected to more than one area C. It has the highest priority value D. It is the first order that attaches to the network Answer: C. Explanation: To elect a designated router (DR) and a backup designated router (BDR), the router views each other's priority value during the hello packet exchange process. The first thing that is considered to determine the DR is the priority value. Specifically the router with the highest priority value is the DR. A is incorrect; if the priority values are tied, the router ID is used but the router with the highest router IS then becomes the DR. B is incorrect; a router using OSPF can be connected to more than one area but this will not be determinative in selecting a DR. D is incorrect; the first router is not the DR by default. If it meets on of the criterias for DR selection it could be the DR. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), pp Q. 7 Which capability allows OSPF to support variable length subnet mask VLSM? A. OSPF can perform route summarization. B. OSPF carry subnet mask confirmation in the link advertisements. C. OSPF is a link state protocol support VSLMs. D. OSPF design requires addresses to be allocated in groups to support multiple areas. Answer: B. Explanation: OSPF carries subnet mask information thus providing OSPF with the ability to support VLSMs (Variable Length Subnet Masks). As OSPF can support VLSM, OSPF can have a truly hierarchical structure

7 Providing a different subnet mask to each subnet accomplishes VLSM. The result is each subnet has a different number of host spaces available. A is incorrect; OSPF can indeed perform route summarization but this only provides the summarization of routes in a routers routing table. Route summarization allows multiple networks to be advertised as one network address and mask. C is incorrect, OSPF is a link state protocol but the question asks for the OSPF capability that allows VLSM thus making this incorrect. D is incorrect; this is the OSPF capability that allows VLSM. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), Q. 8 Router R1 uses a subnet mask and sits on the boundary of area 0 and area1. Given the following router in configuration Router OSPF 76 Network area 1. Network area 0. Area 0 range Area 1 range Which three statements are true? (Choose three) A. An interface on this router with IP address is an area 1. B. An effect of the fourth line is to reduce the number of route table and trees. C. All networks within a range of to will be summarized from area 0 into area 1. D. All networks within the range of to will be summarized from area 1 into area 0. E. Area 0 can act as a stub or transit area for routes including networks in the range to Answers: A, B, and D. Explanation: The router configuration above identifies the following information by line: Line 1 enable OSPF on the router with a process ID of 76. Line 2 and Line 3 identifies which IP networks are part of the OSPF. Line 4 instructs the router to summarize routes for area 0 before they are injected into another area. Line 5 instructs the router to summarize routes for area 0 before they are injected into another area

8 C is incorrect; networks of this range would in fact be summarized from area 1 into area 0. D is incorrect; for a stub area to be configured the following command would need to be used area area-id stub [no-summary]. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), Q. 9 In addition to viewing routing table which command can you use to determine if a router is using the best bath to forward packets on a specific network? A. Ping. B. Show space path. C. Trace route. D. Ping with record option. Answer: C. Explanation: Traceroute is used verify that the shortest path is being used for routing. It is important to ensure you trace routes to networks that have a number of paths. The command would be: traceroute [ip-address]. A is incorrect; the ping command is used to confirm is a host is reachable and network connectivity. B is incorrect; show space path is not a valid command. D is incorrect; with ping this option turns on route recording for the Echo Request packets, and displays the route buffer on returned packets (ignored by many routers). BSCN, 485,495 Q. 10 You want to modify the OSPF router ID to Which commands should you use to do this? A. Router loopback 0 IP address B. OSPF interface loopback 0 IP address C. interface loopback 0 IP address D. ospf loopback 0 IP address

9 Answer: C. Explanation: The highest IP address on an interface is normally used as the OSPF router ID. This can be overridden by configuring an IP address on a loopback interface. In this case, the highest such loopback IP address becomes the OSPF router ID. This can be done by using the interface loopback {number} command. A is incorrect; router lookback O is not a valid command. B is incorrect; ospf interface loopback 0 is not a valid command. D is incorrect; ospf loopback 0 is not a valid command. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), 126. Q. 11 You are configuring redistribution to advertise EIGRP routes into OSPF on a boundary router. Given the configuration: Router ospf7 Redistribute EIGRP 300 metric 20 subnets. What is the function of 20 parameter in the redistribute command? A. It is the seed cause to be applied to the redistributed routes. B. It replaces an administrative distance of 20 on the newly learned routes. C. If the process-id for the PSEUDO processes that injects the EIGRP routes into OSPF. D. It replaces a metric limit of 20 subnets to be included in each OSPF route advertisement. Answer: A. Explanation: The number that follows the metric-value command (in this case 20) is the metric used for the redistributed route. The configuration found above can be explained as follows: Line 1 identifies the routing protocol you want routes distributed into to. 7 in this line is used to signify the process id. Line 2 determines that EIGRP AS (autonomous system) 300 will be redistributed with a metric of 20. The command subnet is used to ensure that the subnets are also redistributed. If the subnet command is not used, only routes are that are not subnet will be redistributed. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001),

10 Q. 12 You are configuring the static route on a router. You want to configure it so that if the interface associated with route goes down it will still remain in the routing table. Which IP route command parameter cause this to happen? A. Keep. B. Backup. C. Permanent. D. Continuous. Answer C. Explanation: The permanent command is used to specify that a route will not be removed even if the interfaces associated with the route go down. A is incorrect; the no keep command is used to turnoff keepalives. B is incorrect; the backup command is used to assign a backup server for a real or virtual server. D is incorrect; continuous is not IP route command parameter. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), Q. 14 You have configured policy based routing on interface serial 0. Given the configuration: interface serial 0 IP policy route map demo Route maps demo permit 10 Match IP address Set interface serial 2 serial 3 Access list for permit Which statement about a packet arriving on serial 0 is more correct? A. If the packets were sourced form it is a candidate for fast switch policy routing. B. If the packet was sourced from it will be routed out interface serial 2 and interface serial in a load sharing fashion. C. If the packet was destined for it will be routed out interface serial 2 and interface serial 3 in a load sharing fashion

11 D. If the packet was sourced from it will be routed out interface serial 2 if interface serial 2 is not up the packet will be routed out interface serial 3. Answer: D. Explanation: The key to this question is the command set interface serial 2 serial 3. This command provides a list of interfaces that packets can be routed through. When there is more than one serial listed the first one will be used for the forwarding of packets when it is up. A is incorrect as the question asked for the answer that was more correct. B and C are incorrect as the interface serials are not load balanced. In fact, the first interface will always be used as long as it is up. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), Q. 15 You are asked to interconnect networks that use different routing protocols. One network uses IGRP and rather network uses OSPF. You connect the networks using redistribution at the boundary routers. If the routers were to receive route information for the same networks from IGRP and OSPF from which protocol will they select the route envoy? A. OSPF because it is a link state protocol. B. OSPF because it has a better seed matrix. C. IGRP because it is a hybrid protocol. D. IGRP because it has better administrative distance. Answer: D. Explanation: When a router receives information from a network from different protocols (for example IGRP and OSPF), the router will determine which route is more believable based on the administrative distance of each protocol. The smaller the administrative distance the better (more believable) a route is. In this case, the administrative distance for IGRP is 100 and the administrative distance for OSPF is 110. A is incorrect; it is true that OSPF is a link state protocol but this not why IGRP was selected. The reason the IGRP route was selected was it s smaller administrative distance. B is incorrect; as IGRP and OSPF have different types of metrics there needs to be a means for these metrics to be translated/understood. The seed metric is the value that protocols understands and uses as the metric for routes learned from another protocol. Therefore a seed metric would be needed for OGRP to understand the metric of IGRP but this would not be the reason that the IGRP would be selected. C is incorrect; IGRP is in fact a distance vector protocol and is not the reason IGRP is selected

12 Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), and Q. 16 Which command must be redistributed if you want the route advertised? A. IP route E 1. B. IP route C. IP route interface E 1. D. IP route access-scripts 1. Answer: B. Explanation: The IP route command must contain the following parameters (after IP route) IP route prefix and mask ( ) and the IP address of the next-hop router ( ) or the local interface that will be used to reach the destination network. A is incorrect; the subnet mask for is C is incorrect; the word interface is not required in this command. D is incorrect; access-script is not a valid command in this case. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), Q. 17 What is the purpose of route summarization? A. To use hierarchical routing to allow one route update to represent many down stream networks. B. To control route updates to lower their frequency to leave more bandwidth for applications. C. To use an addressing scheme that will assign networks sequentially allowing them not to fragment. D. To use a compression logarithm on the routing table to lower memory constraints on the router. Answer: A. Explanation: In large internetwroks, hundreds or even thousands of networks can exist. In these environments, it is often not desirable for routers to maintain all these routes in their routing table. Route summarization (also called route aggregation or supernetting) can reduce the number of routes that a router must maintain because it is a method of representing a series of network numbers in a single summary address

13 B, C, and D are incorrect; the purpose of route summarization is to reduce the number of routes (that are contiguous) in a routing table by representing them by a single route. These routes can therefore be updated by one update. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), pp Q. 18 Which three statements about BGP are true? (Choose three) A. Periodic keepalive are sent to verify TCP connectivity. B. Reliability comes from using TCP port 179 as its transport. C. Topology awareness is kept current by routine periodic update. D. A rich set of matrix, called path vectors, enables BGP to support various routing policies. Answers: A, B, and D. Explanation: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is an inter-autonomous System routing protocol. BGP is able to communicate by the exchanging of routing information. This communication is possible as the BGP router exchanging reachability data with other BGP routers. As a result, the routers are able to create an AS reachability graph from which loops and can be pruned. BGP communicates by using TCP port 179, path vector messages and keepalive messages. C is incorrect; as the link established between routers is reliable there is no need to exchange periodical updates. In fact, BGP routers only exchange incremental updates. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), pages Q. 19 What is the characteristic of variable length subnet masking VLSM? A. It allows a 32Bit subnet mask. B. It is supported by all routing protocols because they carry the subnet mask within their routing table updates. C. It allows a way of controlling the number of reliable hosts on the network by manipulating the mask in attempt to efficiently allocate IP addresses. D. It allows the concurrent use of several different subnets masks on a single interface providing multiple networks on a single interface. Answer: C

14 Explanation: VLSM allows hosts to use different length subnet masks within the same internetwork. To run VLSM on a network, you must use a routing protocol that sends prefix-length subnet mask information with routing updates, which is considered a classless routing protocol. VLSM allow different subnet masks to be used with different subnets. The main purpose of VLSMs is to conserve IP addresses, because when you subnet, IP addresses are lost in the math. The benefits of VLSM include even more efficient use of IP addresses and greater capability to use route summarization. A is incorrect; it is impossible to have a 34 bit subnet mask. B is incorrect; VLSM is only supported by classless routing protocols, OSPF for example, as for VSLM to work the protocol must be able to send prefix-length subnet mask information with their routing updates. D is incorrect; VLSM does permit the use of several different subnets masks on a single interface but this allows multiple hosts on a single interface. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), pp Q. 20 By default what happens to the next hop attribute advertised by EBGP? A. It is ignored by IBGP. B. It is carried into IBGP. C. It is a NDED with the subnet mask before being carried into IBGP. D. It is modified by IBGP to be the address of the router that receives the update. Answer: B. Explanation: BGP sends update messages about destinations routers. Parts of these messages are BGP metrics (also known as path attributes). There are several types of attributes including AS-path attributes, next-hop attributes, and MED attribute. The BGP next-hop attribute contains information of the next-hop IP address that can be used by a destination. For EGRP, the next-hop router is the IP address of the router that sent the update. For IBGP, the protocol states that the next hop advertised by EGBP should be carried into IBGP. As a result a BGP router (for example router Z) will advertise an external router (for example router Y) to an internal neighbor (for example router X). Router X will know that to reach router Y, Router Y s IP address will need to be used and not router Z. A is incorrect; IBGP will pass this information onto it s neighbor. For the neighbor to communicate with this external route it will need to either use IGP or a static route. C is incorrect; NDED is not a term that is related to neither IBGP nor EBGP

15 D is incorrect; most people would assume that the address modified by IBGP to be the address of the router that receives the update but in reality EBBP next hop attribute is carried into IBGP. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), pp Q. 21 What is the purpose of default-information originate always command? A. It is used to create a default static route on a router running a RIP. B. It is used to create a default static route on a router running OSPF. C. It is used to create a default static route on a router running EIGRP. D. It is required when ever whenever you want propagate a default route into an RIP autonomous system. E. It is required when ever whenever you want propagate a default route into an EIGRP autonomous system. F. It is required when ever whenever you want propagate a default route into an OSPF autonomous system. Answer: F. Explanation: The default-information originate always command in OSPF is used to propagate a default route into the OSPF routing domain. The always keyword causes the default route to always be advertised, whether or not the router has a default route. This ensures that the default route will get advertised into OSPF, even if the path to the default route goes down. A is incorrect; the command for a default static route for a router using RIP is ip route so (if the interface was so). B is incorrect; the command for a default static route for a router using OSPF is ip route so (if the interface was so). D is incorrect; default-information originate always command can only be used for OSPF, BGP, EGP, and IS-IS not with RIP. E is incorrect; default-information originate always command can only be used for OSPF, BGP, EGP, and IS-IS not with EIGRP. BSCN, Q. 22 Which two statements about BGP communities are true? (Choose two) A. They are restricted to one AS

16 B. They are restricted to one class A or B or C network. C. They allow router to filter incoming or outgoing updates. D. They are indicators used by routers to allow other routers to make decisions based upon these indicators. Answers: C and D. Explanation: BGP communities are one of the ways to filter incoming or outgoing BGP routes. The BGP communities function allows routers to tag routes with an indicator (the community) and allows other routers to make decisions (filter) based upon the tag. BGP communities are used for destinations (routes) that share some common properties and that therefore share common policies; routers, therefore, act on the community rather than on individual routes. A is incorrect; BGP communities are not restricted to one AS. B is incorrect; BGP communities are not restricted to one class A or B or C network. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), pp Q. 23 What are the two characteristics of an autonomous system? (Choose two) A. It uses only interior gateway protocols (IGPs). B. It uses only interior gateway protocols (EGPs). C. It is a set of routers under a single technical administration. D. It uses IGPs to route packets to other autonomous systems and EGPs to route packets within the autonomous system. E. It uses EGPs to route packets to another autonomous system and IGPs to route packets within the autonomous system. Answers: C and E. Explanation: Autonomous system is a collection of routers under a common administration sharing a common routing strategy. Autonomous system can be subdivided into areas. IGP is the routing protocol used to exchange routing information within an AS and EGP is the routing protocol used to communicate between ASs. A is incorrect; autonomous system uses both IGP and EGP to communicate. B is incorrect; autonomous system uses both IGP and EGP to communicate. D is incorrect; IGP is the routing protocol used to exchange routing information within an AS and EGP is the routing protocol used to communicate between ASs

17 Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), Q. 24 Which 2 statements about routers running EBGP are true? (Choose two) A. They are usually directly connected. B. They are not usually directly connected. C. They need to be able to reach each other. D. They do not need to be able to reach other. Answer: A and C. Explanation: Autonomous Systems (AS) use EBGP to exchange routing information. Further, ASs use EBGP to insert routes owned by one AS into another AS within the enterprise network. For EBGPs to function they are usually directly connected and they need to be able to reach each other. B is incorrect; EBGP are usually directly connected. D is incorrect; EBGP must be able to communicate with each other. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), pp Q. 25 Which two statements about BGP are true? (Choose two) A. BGP based routing allows policy decisions at the AS level to be enforced. B. BGP can only advertise routers that it uses to be its peers in other autonomous system. C. BGP can advertise routers that it can t use to its other autonomous systems. D. BGP allows an AS to send traffic to a neighboring AS intending that the traffic take a different route than from the traffic originating in the neighboring AS. Answers: A and B. Explanation: BGP allows policy decisions at the AS level to be enforced. This setting of policies or rules for routing is known as policy-based routing. Policy-based routing is the process of defining a route for a packet, which could possibly supersede the routing table. Policy based routing is completed on the interface that the packets are received on. EBGP can only advertise routers that it uses to peers in another AS. C is incorrect; BGP specifies that a BGP router can advertise to its peers in neighboring AS only those routes that it itself uses

18 D is incorrect; some policies cannot be supported by the hop-by-hop paradigm and thus require techniques such as source routing to enforce. For example, BGP does not allow an AS to send traffic to a neighboring AS intending that the traffic take a different route than from the traffic originating in the neighboring AS. You cannot influence how the neighbor AS will route your traffic; but you can influence how your traffic gets to a neighbor AS. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), p Q. 26 Which statement about EBGP is true? A. Routers run EBGP in order to exchange BGP information with routers in other autonomous systems. B. Routers run EBGP in order to exchange IGP information with routers in other autonomous systems. C. Routers run EBGP in order to exchange EGP information with routers in other autonomous systems. D. Routers run EBGP in order to exchange BGP information with routers within autonomous systems. E. Routers run EBGP in order to exchange EGP information with routers within autonomous systems. Answer: A. Explanation: BGP is an exterior routing protocol. That is, it is used to connect different networks to the Internet. BGP message can be either internal or external. Internal BGP (IGBP) is used to exchange information between peers within an Autonomous Systems (ASs) and external BGP (EGBP) is used to exchange information between ASs. B is incorrect; IGPs (Interior Gateway Protocol) are used to exchange routing information in an AS. Examples of IGP are EIGRP and OSPF, to name a few. C is incorrect; EGP stands for Exterior Gateway Protocol. BGP is an example of EGP but EGBP is used to exchange BGP between ASs. D is incorrect; IBGP is run by routers in order to exchange BGP information with routers within autonomous systems. E is incorrect; EGP is a routing protocol that is used to connect between ASs. Therefore, routers do not run EBGP in order to exchange BGP information with routers within autonomous systems. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), pp 321, 537 Q. 27 Which two statements are true about a router running BGP with all the default settings? (Choose two) A. It will not run an IGP. B. It will always use a route learned by IBGP

19 C. It will not use a route learned by IBGP unless that route is learned from IGP. D. It will not advertise a route learned by IBGP to an external neighbor unless that route is learned from an IGP. E. It will always advertise a route learned by IBGP to an external neighbour once connectivity to the external neighbour has been established. Answer: C and D. Explanation: The BGP synchronization rule states that a BGP router should not use or advertise to an external neighbor a route learned by IBGP, unless the route is local or it is learned form the IGP. If your autonomous system is passing information from one AS to another AS, BGP should not advertise a route before all routers in your AS have learned about the route via IGP. A is incorrect; a router running BGP can also run IGP. BGP would be used to communicate to other autonomous systems and IGP would be used to communicate within the AS. B is incorrect; a router running BGP will not use a route learned from IBGP unless it was learned from IGP. E is incorrect; in order for a router running BGP to advertise an IBGP route to it s external neighbors the route would need to be learned by IGP. Even if connectivity was established with the external neighbor a IBGP that wasn t learned by IGP would not be advertised. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), pp Q. 29 Which method of sending route information into BGP routing protocol is not recommended? A. Using the null 0 interface. B. Using the network command. C. Redistributing static routes into BGP. D. Redistributing dynamic routes into the BGP. E. Using the redistribute bgp command. F. Changing the administrative distance of the routes. Answer: D. Explanation: Route information is sent into an AS into BGP in one of the following ways: Using the network command. This command allows BGP to advertise a network already in the IP table. The list of network commands must include all the networks in the AS that you want to advertise

20 Redistributing static routes to null 0 into BGP. Redistribution occurs when a router running different protocols advertises routing information received between the protocols. Static routes in this case are considered to be a protocol, and static information us advertised to BGP. Redistributing dynamic IGP routes into BGP. This solution is not recommended because it may cause instability. The instability is possible as any time an IGP route changes, goes down for example, a BGP update could result. A is incorrect; the question was asking for methods that are not recommended to send routes into BGP. Using the null 0 interface is a recommended way. B is incorrect; the question was asking for methods that are not recommended to send routes into BGP. Using the network command is a recommended way of sending route information into BGP. C is incorrect; the question was asking for methods that are not recommended to send routes into BGP. Redistribution of static routes configured to the null 0 interface into BGP is done to advertise aggregate route rather than specific routes from the IP table. E is incorrect; the question was asking for methods that are not recommended to send routes into BGP. F is incorrect; the question was asking for methods that are not recommended to send routes into BGP. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), pp Q. 32 Which command is used to change the BGP wait attribute of updates coming from a neighbour router? Enter the number that corresponds to the command? Answer: neighbor {ip-address/peer-group-name} weight {weight} Explanation: The neighbor {ip-address/peer-group-name} weight {weight} router configuration command is used to assign a weight to a neighbor connection. The following is a command description: ip-address IP address of the BGP neighbor. peer-group-name Name of a BGP peer group weight Weight to assign. Acceptable values are 0 to The default is for local routes (route that the router originates); other weights of 0 by default. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), p Q. 33 Which two events take place when a full event mesh of BGP session is configured within an autonomous system? (Choose two.) A. The configuration is not permitted by default. B. Configuration may be permitted if route reflectors are used

21 C. This may result in many BGPs sessions being created. D. This may result in many switched virtual circuits SVC being created. E. This may result in many permanent virtual circuits PVC being created. F. This may result in using a significant amount of bandwidth on slow VAN links. Answer: C and F. Explanation: A full governing IBGP behaviour is BGP split horizon rule. Simply put this means that routes learned from IBGP can never be sent to IBGP peers. This split horizon rule is necessary to prevent loops within the autonomous system. As a result, a full mesh of IBGP peers is required within an AS. The more routers there are in an AS, the more BGP session will be required. To determine how many session will be required one can use the formula: n(n-1)/2. (n = the number of routers) In addition to this problem with required session they may also be a problem with routing traffic due to the amount of replication required. For example, if the physical topology of a large AS includes some WAN links, the IBGP sessions running over the links may consume a large amount of bandwidth. A is incorrect; a full mesh topology is not only permitted but is required for IBGP peers. B is incorrect; if route reflectors are used then a full mesh of IBGP neighbors is no longer required. The reason that a full mesh is no longer required is that route reflectors can advertise routes learned by IBGP to other IBGP peers. D is incorrect; SVCs are most commonly used with a partially meshed network. E is incorrect; PVCs are most commonly used with a partially meshed network. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), pp Q. 35 What do you call an autonomous system connected via BGP to more than one ISP? A. multihop B. multihomed C. multisource D. multiassessed Answer: B. Explanation: Multihoming is the term used to describe when an AS is connected to more than one ISP. This is usually done for one of two reasons: to increase the reliability of the connection to the Internet so that if one connection fails, another will still be available; and

22 to increase the performance so that better paths can be used to certain destinations. A is incorrect; multihop is most often used in reference to Virtual Private Dialup Network (VPDN) and is not used in reference to connecting to an ISP multiple times. C is incorrect; mutlisource, in general, may be used to describe to having multiple source for something but Cisco uses the term multihome to reference when an AS is connected to more than one ISP. D is incorrect; a multi-access network allows multiple devices to connect and communicate at the same time. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), p Q. 36 Which three IP protocols support variable length subnet masks (VLSM)? (Choose three) A. RIPv.1. B. RIPv.2. C. IGRP. D. OSPF. E. EIGRP. Answer: B, D and E. Explanation: The ability to specify a different subnet mask for the same network number on different subnets is called Variable-Length Subnet Mask (VLSM). VLSM can help optimise available address space. Classless routing protocols support VLSM. Routing protocols that include the prefix length with routing updates; routers running classless routing do not have to determine the prefix themselves. Examples of classless protocols include RIP v. 2, OSPF and EIGRP. A is incorrect; RIP v. 1 is a classful routing protocol. Classful routing protocols do not transmit any information about the prefix length. C is incorrect; IGRP is a classful routing protocol. Classful routing protocols do not transmit any information about the prefix length. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), pp Q. 37 Which three elements are required for a router to forward a packet? (Choose three) A. The best route. B. Possible routes. C. Destination address

23 D. Summarized route entry. E. Encryption key for routed data. Answer: A, B and C. Explanation: The router must know three items in order to route: The router must determine whether it has the protocol suite active. The router must know the destination network. The router must know which outbound interface is the best path to the destination. For a routing device to make a routing decision, it must first understand the logical destination address. For this to happen, the protocol suite that uses that logical addressing scheme must be enabled and currently active on the router. After the router can understand the addressing scheme, the second decision is to determine whether the destination logicial network is a valid destination within the current routing table. The final decision that the routing device must make if the destination is in the routing table is to determine through which outbound interface the packet will be forwarded. The routing table will contain only the best path (or paths) to any given destination logical network. D is incorrect; a router does not need to know a route summarization entry to forward a packet. If it does have a route summarization entry it can route more efficiently but a route summarization entry is not required. E is incorrect; does not need an encryption key to route traffic. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), pp 6-7. Q. 38 In a routing table entry which value indicates the best route to reach a destination network? A. Cost. B. Metric. C. Bandwidth. D. Hop count. Answer: A. Explanation: Cost is an arbitrary value, typically based on hop count. Media bandwidth, or other measures, that is assigned by a network administrator and used to compare various paths though an internetwork environment

24 Cost values are used by routing protocols to determine the most favourable path to a destination: the lower the cost, the better the path. In OSPF, this is the value assigned to a link. This metric is based on the speed of the media. It is sometimes called path costs. B is incorrect; a standard of measurement, such as performance, that is used for measuring whether network management goals have been met. C is incorrect; metric is the difference between the highest and lowest frequencies available for network signals. The term is also used to describe the rated throughout capacity of a given network medium or protocol. D is incorrect; a routing metric used to measure the distance between a source and destination. IP RIP uses hop count as its sole metric. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), pp Q. 39 Which show command should you use to verify that a particular router was selected as the designated router and which timer intervals were configured. Enter the number that corresponds to the command? Answer: show ip ospf interface Explanation: The show ip ospf interface command verifies that interfaces have been configured in the intended areas. If no loopback address is specified, the interface with the highest address is taken as router ID. It also give the time intervals, including the hello interval, shows neighbor adjacencies, DR ID and BDR ID. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), p 134. Q. 40 What are two characteristics of link state routing? (Choose two) A. It is utilized by OSPF and IGRP. B. It determines path by bandwidth based value. C. It sends updates to directly attached routers only. D. It sends updates rather than complete routing tables when a network change occurs. Answer: C and D. Explanation: Link state routing protocols generate routing updates only when there is a change in the topology. When a link changes state, the device that detects the change creates a link state advertisement (LSA) concerning that link (route); the LSA is then propagated to all neighboring devices using a special multicast address. Each routing device takes a copy of the LSA, forwards the LSA to all neighboring devices (this

25 process is called flooding), and then updates its topological database (a table containing all the link state information for the network). This flooding of the LSA is required to ensure that all routing devices learn about the change so that they can update their databases and create updated routing table that reflects the new topology. A is incorrect; OSPF is a link state routing protocol but IGRP is a distance vector routing protocol. B is incorrect; link state routing protocols select paths based on algorithm. OSPF uses the Dijkstra algorithm, also known as the shortest path first (SPF) algorithm. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), pp Q. 41 Which two statements about variable length subnet mask are true? (Choose two) A. VLSMS are a characteristic of classful network. B. They have a greater capability to use route summarization. C. RIP 1 network supports multiple subnets per network address. D. VLSMS allow for more hierarchical levels within an addressing plan. Answer: B and D. Explanation: VLSMs allow hosts to use different length subnet masks within the same internetwork. To run VSLM on a network, you must use a routing protocol that sends prefix-length subnet mask information with the route updates, which is considered a classless routing protocol. If you configure the same subnet mask on all devices in your internetwork, this is considered classful routing. VLSMs allow for more hierarchical levels within your addressing plan and thus allows for better route summarization within routing tables. A is incorrect; VLSMs are only possible on classful network but is not a characteristic of a classful network. C is incorrect; RIP v 1 cannot support multiple subnets per network address. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), pp Q. 42 Given the route summarization entry /20. How many class C addresses can be summarized? A. 4. B. 8. C. 16. D. 20. E

26 F. 64. Answer: B. Explanation: Due to the fact that we are dealing with a class c network and /20 in the route summarization it can be determine that 8 addresses can be summarized. A, C, D, E, F are all incorrect; with the parameters provided these are all impossible. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), pp Q. 43 Given the configuration interface Ethernet 0 IP address IP helper-address Which two statements are true? (Choose two) A is an alternate address from B. Host is the backup router for C. All non routable protocols will be forwarded to D. Host will provide IP tunnelling on IP protocols. E. BOOTP request on the interface Ethernet 0 will be forwarded to network F. NetBOIS broadcast from will be send as directed broadcast to network Answer: E and F. Explanation: Use the ip-helper-address {address} interface configuration command to configure an interface on which broadcasts are expected or can be received. In the command {address} indicates the destination address to be used when forwarding User Datagram Protocol broadcasts. The specified address can be unicast address of a remote server or a directed broadcast address. A is incorrect; is the address that broadcasts from are sent and not an alternative address. B is incorrect; is the address that broadcasts from are sent and not a backup router. C is incorrect; non routable are not forwarded to is where broadcasts are sent

27 D is incorrect; Host will not provide IP tunnelling on IP protocols rather is where broadcasts are sent. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), pp Q. 44 Which two statements about variable length subnet masking VLSM are true? (Choose two) A. It supports hierarchical addressing. B. It is specifically used in the IP environment. C. It is specifically used in the IPX environment. D. It is specifically used in both the IP and IPX environments. Answer: A and B. Explanation: VLSMs offer the capability to speficy a different subnet mask for the same network number on different subnets. VLSM can help optimise available address space. VLSM is suppose to assist with IP addressing issues. C is incorrect; IPX is a Novell proprietary network layer protocol that deals with the transferring of data from server to workstation and VLSM was not designed to assist with IPX addressing. D is incorrect; IPX is a Novell proprietary network layer protocol that deals with the transferring of data from server to workstation and VLSM was not designed to assist with IPX addressing. Catherine Paquet and Daine Teare, Building Scalable Cisco Networks (Cisco Press 2001), pp 1 and 785. Q. 45 In a multipoint WAN topology using EIGRP which guide line is used for configuring bandwidth as its serial interface? A. Configure the bandwidth to be the sum of all virtual circuits. B. Configure the bandwidth to be equal to the lowest CIR in the topology. C. Configure the bandwidth equal to the link capacity divided by the number of its shared circuits. D. Configure the bandwidth to be the product of a number of circuits multiplied by CIR provisioned for each circuit in the topology. Answer: C. Explanation: When configuring multipoint interfaces (especially for Frame Relay) remember that all neighbors share the bandwidth equally. That is, EIGRP used bandwidth statement of the physical interface divided by the
